Why fondly remember things that were hated at the time?

You suppose it is because life has just got worse since then?  Most likely explanation, I'd wager.

Something reminded me a short while ago of the swimming classes back in high school... the ones I never participated in. I still can't swim to this day... Me and water don't mix. Never have. 
So every single PE class that was supposed to happen in the pool, I conveniently "forgot" my swimming trunks...  and every time I'd be forced to spend the whole hour running up and down the school hill from the base to the top without a single break... often in the pouring rain. It was exhausting and I hated it, and I hated the PE teachers for making me do it... but at least it wasn't as bad as getting in the pool.
Somehow when I look back on it though... it feels like those were better times.

Go figure.

Anyway. Thas me done.

It depends on how your life has played out since. My life has calmed down significantly since my school years, and well.. it feels like its gotten less exciting.

I think a part of this may be contrast. Back in the day, everything was awesome because it was balancing against the horrors of school. Nowadays, there is no equivalent horror in my life, and that's made the good things seem less good somehow.

Maybe I should try marriage...

You want to drag your life into further depths of boredom?
I wouldn't recommend it, personally.
I get what you mean of course..... except with more... well.... abject disappointment on my end... but yeah. Everything has become distinctly non-interesting.
